Retay USA came to SHOT Show 2026 with a full spread of new guns, expanding their shotgun lineup with four specialized ACE variants, a tactical 12-gauge inertia gun, a budget single-shot, and two .22LR rifles. Here's everything they announced.
ACE Series Expansion
Retay's ACE inertia semi-auto, already established in the waterfowl market, now branches into four discipline-specific models. The ACE Paloma targets high-volume dove and pigeon hunters with specialized "dove-tail" engraving and a finish engineered for heat dissipation during rapid firing. It's tuned to cycle lighter target loads reliably.
The ACE Walnut brings classic looks with Turkish walnut and advanced alloy components to shed weight while keeping the 3.5" chamber. Retay calls it the "carry-all-day" option for demanding terrain. The ACE Sporting comes with 28" or 30" ported barrels for clay work, and the ACE Upland Ultralight features premium Turkish walnut with shorter 24" or 26" barrels for fast-swinging in thick cover, plus an oversized safety and loading port for gloved hands.
All ACE variants keep Retay's Inertia Plus rotating bolt system, Deep Bore Drilled barrels, AIRY recoil pad (30% recoil reduction claimed), lengthened forcing cone, and Easy Out shell removal. Pricing wasn't announced.
724 Patrol Tactical
The 724 Patrol is Retay's entry into the tactical/home defense market. It's a 12-gauge inertia semi-auto with an 18.5" barrel, 5+1 capacity, and Retay's Straight Line Inertia Transfer Action. The receiver is a single-piece alloy unit with a "Premium Plastic-free Trigger Guard" and Easy Out magazine unloading that empties shells without cycling the action.
The 724 comes optic-ready with a drilled and tapped bowtie Picatinny rail for RMR/RMSC footprint optics. It ships with four interchangeable chokes (C, IC, IM, M, F) and is breaching choke compatible. The gun features M-LOK aluminum forend, sculpted ergonomic recoil pad, and comes in two configurations: standard stock ($929) or pistol grip ($949). Weight is 7 lbs with a 14.37" LOP.
Gamelander Single Shot
Retay's Gamelander is a simple break-action single shot built for turkey hunting in 20-gauge or .410 bore, both with 3" chambers. The 22" barrel uses Retay's Deep Bore Drilled construction with black chrome finish and a factory-lengthened forcing cone. It includes an adjustable cheek piece, AIRY recoil pad, brass bead sight, and comes drilled and tapped with a low-profile rail for optics.
Gamelander Specs:
- Gauge: 20ga or .410 bore (3" chamber)
- Action: Single shot break-action
- Barrel: 22" with brass bead
- Weight: 6.7 lbs, LOP 14.37"
- Finishes: Black synthetic or Mossy Oak Bottomland
- MSRP: $349 (black), $399/$429 (Bottomland)
RA1522 .22LR Rifle
The RA1522 is Retay's AR-style .22LR trainer with adjustable length from 32.44" to 36.27". It's a semi-auto with flip-up front and rear sights, 25-round magazine capacity, and a thumb safety. The rifle uses Retay's Deep Bore Drilled barrel with black chrome finish and weighs 4.74 lbs.
Retay offers four configurations: aluminum M-LOK rifle ($409), aluminum M-LOK pistol with brace ($359), polymer M-LOK rifle ($359), and quad rail rifle ($359). All use the same barrel and action, just different furniture and forend options.
ASEND Bolt Action .22LR
The ASEND is a Remington 700-style bolt action rimfire with a three-position ambidextrous safety and 10-round rotary magazine (Ruger 10/22 compatible). It features a free-floating heavy varmint barrel, bowtie Picatinny rail, and sub-MOA accuracy claims at 50 yards.
ASEND Specs:
- Caliber: .22 LR
- Action: R700-pattern bolt action
- Magazine: 10-round rotary (10/22 compatible)
- Barrel: 16.5" or 20" options
- Finishes: Turkish walnut Hunter ($509) or black synthetic Sporter ($399)
Retay's hitting multiple markets with this lineup: tactical/defense (724 Patrol), turkey hunting (Gamelander, ACE variants), recreational shooting (RA1522), and precision rimfire (ASEND). The ACE expansion makes sense given the success of their waterfowl models, and the tactical shotgun puts them in competition with established inertia guns at a lower price point. The rimfire rifles fill gaps in their catalog with budget-friendly training and small game options.
What do you guys and gals think? Is there room for another Turkish manufacturer in the tactical shotgun market, or is Retay late to that party? And does the single-shot Gamelander make sense when their semi-autos aren't much more expensive? Let us know your thoughts in the Comments below! We always appreciate your feedback.
